York at Night - River Ouse

Here's one I prepared earlier.

I took this shot when I was visiting York last year, before moving here. Whenever I came here - as I did quite often to visit my mother - I always felt quite elated on seeing this view from Skeldergate Bridge, with a really happy yaaay I''m in York feeling.

I'd love to have a riverfront flat here - it's a dream I have. No garden for the kids though - although we could always get a boat, I suppose :-)

Hi Ruby, Beautiful image. I love York by night. I love those yellow light that make everything look a bit spooky...You expect some ghosts come out from the shadows in every corner...Take care. Ciao. Antonella

Isn't it funny how that 'home' feeling doesn't leave you? My dad still lives in the town where I grew up, and the older I get, the more it feels like home. Before I get to his place, I have to drive over a bridge crossing the Rhine, and from the bridge you can see most of the town, including the church spire (which is the second tallest in Holland). I get that same feeling as you do crossing that bridge. I also have it when I wake up on the ferry and see the coastline of Holland. May just have to book myself a outside cabin on the ferry next time we go over...
